This is the 23rd year of sales, and the cumulative sales volume has exceeded 400 million units, and it has been supported by many customers. By delivering the freshness of hops harvested in that year from Tono, it provides customers with a seasonal and special beer experience. By enjoying this product together with 'Kirin Ichiban Jikiri Seibii' which was renewed in August 2026, both the contents and packaging, it will further convey the charm of beer and deliver happiness through beer. The company and Tono City started contract cultivation of hops in 1963, and has continued efforts to maximize the charm of hops, a precious local asset. With the aging population, the number of farmers has been decreasing year by year, and the production of hops has decreased to about one-seventh of that 30 years ago, which is a challenge. Since 2004, the company has launched this product, and has cooperated with Tono City with the idea of revitalizing the production area with the power of hops. In addition, since 2007, the company has participated in the 'Beer Town Concept' aimed at preventing the shortage of successors for Japanese hops, and has accepted new personnel from outside the region to work on future town development. The company continues to challenge with the local people to establish a sustainable hop production area, and in recent years, the number of new farmers has increased, and the results of the initiatives have begun to appear. Kirin Beer Co., Ltd. aims to revitalize the region by conveying the deliciousness of beer made with Japanese hops and the thoughts of the producers through the launch of 'Kirin Ichiban Jikiri Toretate Hoppu Seibii' and contribute to the revitalization of the beer market.
